RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE OF THE WEE

The students are sure OF one good
lecture course this winter. Rev. J. Cole
man Adams, of st. PauPs Church, Chi
cago, has consented to be in Galesburg
about the time of the Swan prize contest,
and will then deliver the series. The
subject of his lectures will be "Active
Virtues OF Christianity"
Prof. Standish favored the students
with short talk a few mornings back.
He also read portion OF Lawyer Will
loughby's letter, in which he says that he
"believes student can receive equal dis
cipline Of mind in Lombard College, as
well as Yale" This is a good deal for a
graduate of Yale College to admit.
DIR. White on Monday morning gave
the students their promised lecture on
the "Proper Distribution of Time" Time
is measured by the amount of work, or
the number of changes that take place
within a certain period, not by the mere
lapse OF days, hours and minutes; hence
some can study longer in one half hour
than others in twice that amount of time,
simply because their minds are more act
i've and more really takes place. 1t is the
main object of student to learn how to
study, to concentrate his thoughts, shut
out all else that knocks for entrance, and
compel his mind to work. When this is
accomplished, the greatest obstacle in the
path of the student is removed.
The College paper the Lombard
Review" was printed Saturday. 1t is an
interesting sheet and the outlook is bright
for prosperous year.

The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1887-10-22

If golden days are prophetic of bright
and happy ministry, Br. o. G. Colegrove
could not have chosen a combination
more propitIous than the 9th and 2Sth
of September, the days selected for the
meetings eliminating in his ordination
at Decatur, Mich. On the evening Of the
9th, large audience gathered in the
gem of a church, which our Decatur
friends have erected with loving hands,
when sermon was preached by Rev. L.
FL. Squires, of Lansing. He took his
text from Eph. iv. ID, It'll we all come
in the unity OF the faith and of the knowl-
edge of the Son of God unto perfect
man, unto the measure of the stature of
the fullness of Christ" The subject was
Unfinished Lives" and the sermon
showed how the law of change finds it's
fulfillment in perfect knowledge and
character, requiring Immortality for the
attainment. On Wednesday afternoon
an Ordajning Council, consisting Of Brs.
Carpenter, Dickerman, Fluhrer, Squires,
Gibbs, McAlpine, Jones, Queal and Del
amater convened in the church, and after
satisfactory examin alton of the candi-
date, it was unanimously voted to ordain
him in the evening. At the appointed
hour the church was filled, and the fol-
lowing order Of service was observed:
Voluntary-Choir.
Invocation and Scripture Reading
Rev. Frank McAlpine, of Dowagiac.
Anthem-Choir.
Sermon-Rev. W. L. Gibbs, of Concord
Ordaining Prayer-Rev. L. Fl. Squires'
of Lansing.
Charge and Fellowship of the Churches
Rev. Charles Fluhrer, Grand Rapids.
Address to the Society-Rev. w. f.
Dickerman, of Hillsdale.
Anthem by choir.
Benediction by Br. Colegrove.
The sermon of Br. Gibbs" Add to
your Faith"-was an excellent treatment
of the subject, and peculiarly we'll adapt
ed to the occa sion. A more admirable
address to society than Br. Dickerman's
was never given; and the charge and fell
lowship were marked by good counsel
and assurances of warmest brotherly
love. Br. Colegrove, a graduate OF Lom-
bard, enters upon his ministry at Deca-
tur under very encouraging auspices.
He is young man of much promise and
great conservation, while the happy peo-
pie, although not numerous, are among
the choicest TO whom pastor can minis
ter. We shall look for excellent results
from this union, and predict for the young
pastor a career of large and blessed USE

characteristic doctrinal sermons. 1t was
well received. In the afternoon and at
night. Rev. T. @. Druley, of Middleport,
N. Y, preached two sermons of very
high order. Sunday morning dawned on
us in all the splendor of nature. The
church was packed, and Mt. Pisgah, on
which it stands, was literally covered
with people. Rev. M. L. Hewitt preached
the Occasional Sermon, and he was at
"his best" At its close, Rev. 7. G. Dru-
ley called for members to unite with the
church. Eight worthy persons came for
ward and were given the right hand of
fellowship. Br. Druley pre- ached also on
Sunday evening. Thus closed one of the
best Associations ever attended.
Br. Hewitt was happy. Br. MoMaster
felt glorious. Rev. 7. G. Druley was
warmly greeted by his old parishioners.
Br. A. J. Hardy makes splendid Chair
man. Miss Emma Ames is model Sec
rotary. Did you ever eat Belpre din

praise for the success of the meeting.
The next Annual Association will be
held at Watertown. Rev. M. L. Hewitt
preached at Coolville Sunday afternoon,
Oct. 9, in the M. E. church. The liberal
element was more than we'll pleased.

to remain on this circuit. The work is

better than q stranger could.
"Our new parish at Nixon keeps up
good courage. A beautiful little church
is nearly finished. Tt is Gothic, in the
Queen Anne style 20x32, wit h chancel

black walnut and chestnut, vanished in

dows; tower rises by one corner, con-
tanning belfry and bell. Through the
munifcence of Robert Wood, it will be
free from debt when dedicated. It is a
grand achievement by that little band Of
believers in the midst of so dreary des-
ert of orthodoxy. A little encourage
ment in assisting them to furnish the
house by some well-to-do congregation,
or liberal Universalist, would never be
forgotten. 1t will be ready to dedicate
